Meeting Santa!

Last week we finally took the kids to see Santa. Annabel was very excited to see Santa, Daniel wanted to see him, too, but fretted quite a bit over which of his list items to tell him! Annabel was just excited to be able to talk to him and tell him whatever came to mind at the moment. But, she clarified to me later, it wasn't everything on her list, just one thing, and apparently he misheard her, too, "silly Santa!" She said she told him she wanted Playmobil. Daniel told Santa the top two things on his list, the Scooby Doo Cyclone Tumbler (you may remember? the one thing that doesn't exist!) and the Hot Wheels race track. It was so cute to watch the kids eagerly walk up to him and chat with him. They did such a great job!

And then of course we had to check out the rest of Santa's little village set up with games and toy demos. The kids liked the rifle arcade and remote control cars. But the hands-down hit was the bow & arrow toy demo. It was one of those easy, "my first" types of bows and it was so cool and so fun. The Easter Bunny may have to think about picking these up- they really were seriously fun! And then Daniel and Annabel wanted to ride the mini merry-go-round there; I think Annabel would have done that many more than the two times she did ride it! We also treated the kids to a favorite snack of theirs- popcorn! It was a fun outing all around!
